★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Kari Johnson · Feb 2026

Not only is this place aesthetically a trash heap, but the servers are inept and rude about it. Basically anything that they could do wrong or poorly, they did. I didn't have high hopes based on other reviews, but wow the bar of my expectations was on the floor and they couldn't get over it (it wasn't my choice to go there, I was part of a group). They blamed their inability to get my order right or fix it on them being "only 17 and 18 years old" and "they just had an $8000 night." (Ok cool story bro, but the entire time we were there, the place was basically deserted except for our party and the employees. Also, if you're aware you're too immature to properly perform your job duties, perhaps you should find a different job. Your immaturity is not my problem). She then aggressively told m

We went for Ice cream and it was great. The ice cream was as expected and was served promptly. Our server was good, however did not check on us after we got our ice cream to see if we needed anything else or had an issue with it. We did not see her again until it was time to bring us the check, but I do realize it was only ice cream.

Kayla took good care of us, she seemed to still be getting the hang of everything but was very nice and got us everything we needed. All the food came out very hot and fresh which was nice. The sundae someone in our party ordered came out exactly as requested which isn't always the case so we were grateful.

Mostly unchanged since my time here as a child in the 90's. I've always like Friendly's as a kid, always ordering the Grilled Cheese and then the Reese's Pieces Sunday, but it's 2023 now and I pay more than my fair share in taxes and bills so things have changed for me. Friendly's however seemingly stayed the same, and I like that. Ordered online for pickup, putting in for the Fish and Chips, Onion Rings, and a half and half Soup and Salad. The total only came to a little over $30 which is totally acceptable, especially given everything I got was delicious. The fried cod was perfectly flakey inside and crispy outside, the accompanying waffle fries had some great volume and were very thick. Made for perfect dipping chips. The onion rings were crunchy, lots of flavor, and the right amount

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Matt Pitkin · Nov 2024

If i could give the food a zero i would. Everything was under cooked. We ordered 2 chicken sandwiches and couldn't even eat a bite of them. The one was still pink and the other had some disgusting looking growth in it. My coffee came ice cold. My girlfriend wanted fries, they gave her onion rings, then they proceeded to bill us for the unwanted onion rings. The munchi mania appetizer was pretty bad, the "loaded" waffle fries had a scoop of cheese and a scoop of sour cream on them, the chicken quesadillas were under cooked. They ended up taking off the sandwiches but still ended up charging us for the coffee and ended up being $23 for a soda, a cold coffee, and half of an eaten appetizer. I saw multiple other people there have their orders messed up also.
